Start with this video to learn your 3-4 point josekis! The attachment underneath can be played in most board positions, and this joseki is a good corner sequence to learn because it's short, and each move has a clear reason that is relatively easy to understand intuitively. Understanding the meaning of the moves will help you find the correct move when your opponent makes a mistake or just diverges from the mainline variation.

Wow, these videos are amazing. The pacing is great, but you manage to fit so much information in. Even as a 1k, I learned something new from this! Thank you so much!!!

[@huynhngocnamgiang]

I just bought my new board today, ready to learn Go again! Thank you so much Redmond Sensei!

[@trevorhall2832]

I am so happy you are making videos!

[@olesinskio]

First joseki I learned with my Sensei.

[@AntheInEcht]

thank you very much! its *great* to get clear and understandable information in short portions from such a good player like you!

[@studentofsmith]

Playing this joseki when your opponent makes a high approach to your 3-4 stone is a good, solid choice in most circumstances. There are times when the whole board situation makes one joseki better than the other but this particular joseki is almost always a good choice.

[@Omar-oc6th]

Amazing! Thank you for teaching us beginners!

[@paulschmit4480]

In any field nothing is more important than understanding of the basics. Very interesting video also for more seasoned players, be it just alone for the recapitulation of the basic nadare pattern, looking forward for more videos about this topic.

[@ironfluoride8764]

Thank you very much for uploading

[@nimmin8094]

thanks for posting. loved your commentary on AlphaGo vs Sedol.

[@phillipdeville1691]

Terrific!

[@valli5441]

Thanks a lot!

[@johnkerpan7735]

I would be interested to see what happens when White hanes inside (and more in general what to do when your opponent *doesn't* play the normal joseki.

[@MichaelRedmondsGoTV]

I am thinking of doing that in a follow up video

[@nahuelcesattilaluce1257]

great !

[@JaimeCordeiro]

Muito bom, obrigado.

[@marcelocarpinetti9184]

In this joseki, we see many games in which white doesn’t connect immediately after playing the hane . My biggest doubt is when it is ok to tenuki [ and why I would do that in the first place 😬 ].

[@MichaelRedmondsGoTV]

We used to think it was ok to tenuki, but had already decided that it was probably bad when AIs came to tell us not to do that.

[@donkarns6038]

On my iPad does not show the whole board about 3/4 shown on pc it shows whole board

[@Turtle1631991]

Is the old Kitani Minoru joseki at Q16 instead of P17 something that is still considered good?

[@MichaelRedmondsGoTV]

The fact that few other pros ever played that should indicate that it was not a mainstream joseki.

[@87rtlandry]

How should one approach this corner if black has already played the enclosure? Is it better to attach first at P16?

[@MichaelRedmondsGoTV]

Completely different if Black has played an enclosure. Maybe I should make a video about that...

[@ghod2114]

What to do properly if white does not tobi but pincer. How to punish? Very popular on 3-4k fox

[@MichaelRedmondsGoTV]

If we are talking about a move played by White, what tobi is that?

[@Rubrickety]

Are the complex avalanche variations still considered viable? I gather AIs don’t seem to like them much.

[@tomspencer1364]

Which makes one wonder whether many of the famous super complex joseki really are true joseki. This would be something to investigate by A.I. if one had the hardware and time to devout to it.

[@newsupermichal]

i have both, tell me what joseki to check

[@MichaelRedmondsGoTV]

The AI verdict is not clear. The AI will not choose the complicated joseki but will sometimes give black a good score if you force it to play the avalanche.

[@sandybarnes887]

After black attaches underneath and pulls back, what of the hanging connection (tigers mouth) instead of the solid connection for W?

[@MichaelRedmondsGoTV]

black's reply can be the same, and I plan to do that in a video that starts with showing the joseki and then focuses on how Black will try to invade White's position later in the game.
